Really? hair loss! It is getting so aggravating. I am losing SO much hair. Not in clumps but lots of fine hairs to the tune of 20-50 a day. My hair is really starting to thin out and looks kind of gross. I am three months out (surgery date: 10/3/12).

What should I be taking to help with this? Does it ever stop falling out/when can I expect it to stop? And, most importantly...will it grow back in?

HELP!!!

Do every1 loose hair pls help very concerned

I think the majority of us will experience hair loss. There might be Vitamins, minerals, supplements, tiger blood and dark magic that may help manage it, but I think some loss is inevitable.

On the positive side, I think I'm going to have fun with all sorts of diff wigs

Have u already had ur surgery if so when

My hair starte falling out at 3 months but now at 9 months it is growing back I got in all my protein and vitamins including prenatal and biotin there is nothing you can do about it it will grow back

Just wondering if anyone has actually experienced minimal hair loss after their surgery? Or should I expect to be bald after my surgery, I am really scared about this as I have super thin hair already and a bald spot on the side of my head from when I was a kid! This scares me more than having the surgery on the 9th.

It's very frustrating when nutritionists and doctors are telling patients if they do everything by the book they won't lose hair bc that's just NOT the case. I started Biotin and all required vitamins 3 months prior to surgery and have followed that regimen to a T. I also take zinc daily and have been using top of the line hair products (shampoo and conditioner) along with two different conditioning treatments (one with keratin and one without) after showering and I'm telling you, my hair is falling out faster than I can type this message. Because of how attached I was to my hair, I have taken EVERY precaution and here we are anyways. I would normally be fine with wigs, etc., but in my line of work it will be difficult to keep a wig on. The whole thing is super frustrating and especially these professionals giving false information to those of us who are asking for guidance. Grrr. Anyways, I meet with my stylist (from a very high end salon) on Wednesday and she is doing some type of scalp treatment and supposedly has some miracle vitamin/supplement to introduce me to. I'll be sure to check back and keep you all posted. Hopefully some of us can report that the loss has stopped at some point soon. Hang in there ladies! I'm trying to have an "it'll be ok day" bc I was freaking out about this on Wednesday.

I did some research and they say it will grow back. Im gonna stay positive and tell myself it will grow back, but I will be better at taking vitamins and getting my protein.

I feel your pain. I started Biotin 3 months prior to surgery and I am still losing hair at an alarming rate. Surgery was 9/4 and hair loss started in Dec. Those of you who are newly sleeved and saying you're not losing hair yet...just wait. Mine started at exactly 3 months after surgery and has become horrid. I have no actual bald spots -yet-' date=' but I worry they're coming bc my hair is getting alarmingly thin. Seeing my stylist Wed to talk about possible extensions or a wig. I'm a basket case bc I really want it to stop! So sad...good luck, but I have done all Vitamins and Proteins right and it still happened. I think we just have to suffer through and one day it will stop. Ugh...[/quote']

Sure! I'd love to have someone to compare notes with! Just message me when you get a chance.

I took all my vitamins and protein and still do. I do think it will grow back, but it is taking time. I also went through menopause around the same time, and this might have been a factor for me. I lost perhaps 30%of my hair... not in spots but all over, and have about half or more of that(just guessing here) coming back in at this point. I used to not have any short hairs around my face, and now have lots of them... a good thing, but can't wait till they grow long again! KEEP IN MIND this surgery will improve your health and looks a LOT. New hair cuts and a little product can go a long way towards your hair looking thicker. All those cute new cloths don't hurt ether!
